These are the course notes for the Introduction to LaTeX course at the University Of Manchester.
They were transcribed and adapted from Tom Bishop's course at the University of Southampton, in a joint effort by Tom Bishop and Gerard Capes.
The .tex file are usually compiled using pdfLaTeX; the only auxiliary file required is the University of Manchester logo, of which a copy is included in this repository.
All of the materials here (excluding the University of Manchester logo) are licenced under CC-BY-SA v4.0.
This branch uses BibTeX for referencing, while the biber branch uses Biber. Biber is newer and has more advanced features. BibTeX can be simpler to set up, especially for teaching where the desktop environment is more controlled than on a typical user's machine.
